Closing in on the big day

The day is winding down at Heritage Hall, but that only means one thing.

The night is just getting started.

After a day filled with phone calls with recruits and their parents and coaches, coaches continue to rack up the minutes on their cell phone plans as the sun begins to set on Tuesday, the last day before Signing Day. Most, if not all, of the staffers will remain in the office deep into the night making final pitches and promises to the players who will sign their letters of intent on Wednesday morning.

Signing Day 2010's all-important stretch run is here, and the light at the end of the tunnel gets brighter with each tick-tock of the clock.
